Plans for re-landscaping Baltic Street - what do you think?

At the GLERA Meeting in January, we heard from Dominique Gagnon of Jamie Fobert Architects about his suggestions to re-landscape the area under the large sycamore tree on Baltic Street West, just outside the entrance to Crescent House and Hatfield House.

Dominique lives on Crescent Row, which fronts onto the site, and is an architect by profession. However, he's not planning to design the area himself or within his firm, so the following plans and images are to give an idea of what the plan aims to achieve, rather than for detailed comment. He is promoting the scheme as a 'community project'.

The plans and images below show the views along Baltic Street, but with the proposed building which has recently gained planning permission to replace 'Sycamore House', the building with arched windows opposite Hatfield House.

There will be further (more formal) consultation should the plans advance - but at the 30 January GLERA General Meeting most residents attending were in favour.
